Two days ago, a countdown website for what appeared to be a new Modern Warfare went live at a website called FindMakarov.com. A statement issued by Activision confirms that they have nothing to do with it.
“There seems to be a great deal of speculation about the next Call of Duty project,” Activision said in a statement to the press. “Let me be clear that we are not revealing yet. Anything indicating otherwise is a hoax.”
So what will happen on the site after its remaining three-day countdown ends? Who knows? Perhaps it’s a fan movie project, or a stab at Activision from another publisher promoting a different shooter, such as EA‘s Battlefield 3.
Update 3:37pm: One of my guesses were correct! FindMakarov.com is promotion for a fan-made Modern Warfare-inspired film. A still of the film can be seen over at Geoff Keighley’s website, GameSlice.
